I don't think that being left of centre makes you any less susceptible to this sort of shenanigans.

I also think that it's fairly commonplace these days, and that some people might be dissuaded from getting involved in politics in case compromising material from their past gets leaked.

I also wonder if the Miriam Cates of this world, in search of a great moral cause would do well to campaign against unsolicited dick pics instead of spending so much time being horrible to Trans people!
